Customer Review: Hey, very good stuff. However, I got it for a class then we changed our text books. So, I have not actually used it but it appears to be very useful.
Customer Review: Diana Weynand has created a wonderful course that takes you from the very basics of moving files around on your Mac to creating very polished complete videos.
